Bascom support "Color" and "B/W" fonts. "Color" has horizontal layout, "B/W" - vertical. First has 8-multiple width, second - 8-multiple height. So in some cases better to use both types or make universal library. Font files differ with "'Color" string. In "B/W" font file this string is missing.
Is there in Bascom an internal variable to distinguish between "Color" & "B/W"?

(BASCOM-AVR version : 2.0.7.9 , Latest : 2.0.7.8 )

no there is no variable or constant. the lib driver handles the different font files.
i thought about universal font files too, but depending on the lcd, it can be simpler/faster to store the data different.
what could be possible, is a universal font and that the compiler will change the data according the settings.

Is there a way to convert a monochrome font to a color font?
Is it possible to add the function to open a monochrome font in Font Editor and save it as a color font?

Since there is an urgent need to convert the original monochrome font to the color font, I created a converter.
To support the color LCD library, the font size is only a multiple of 8 dots for both [X] and [Y].

The converted font file is saved as [Color_] + font file name in the same directory as the conversion source.
We haven't done much testing, so please let us know if you have any problems.
